  I just downloaded the app and want to go back in time to create entries sparked by photos, calendar events etc. I can’t figure out how to navigate to anything prior to October. I’ve read the posts about adding a photo, adjusting the date etc but I like how the system automatically shows your photos etc so I can remember the stories I need to write. Any help would be appreciated!

  Hello!

  There are a few ways to create entries in the past:

  • Create a new entry and then manually adjust the date: https://help.dayoneapp.com/en/articles/1041455-change-the-date-time-of-an-entry
  • Use the Calendar view to create entries in the past: https://help.dayoneapp.com/en/articles/446462-calendar-view-in-day-one
  • When adding photos to entries, Day One will prompt to use the date/time/location information from the photo to update the entry: https://help.dayoneapp.com/en/articles/748492-setting-the-date-time-and-location-with-photos
